Start by looking in each book's index (back of book) for keywords like
image, picture, canvas, etc. You should probably also use Google (or your
search engine of choice) to look for keyword combinations like:
image cocoa tutorial
or:
image cocoa sample
The keywords tutorial or sample qualify the nature of what you're looking
for. When I start learning any new language or library, I typically google
with the keywords sample or tutorial in the search. For example, these
hits came up on the first results page for Cocoa Tutorial:
<http://cocoadevcentral.com/>
<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/ct/37>
At the 2nd URL, use "Find" in your browser to look for "image".
Also, if you haven't done Apple's Cocoa Tutorial, you should do that. In
fact, you should probably start here:
<http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/GS_Cocoa/index.html>
and also bookmark this page:
<http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/index.html>
with special attention to the "Getting Started" and "Fundamentals" links.
I'm not sure how much you'll be able to rely on "Absolute Beginner's Guide
to C". C and Objective-C are different enough that if you don't know any
C-like languages, relying on a C reference for guidance in Objective-C is
more likely to lead you into trouble than to a solution.
